Good public companies with < 10K employees

After working at several large enterprises I have realized that my sweet spot is smaller-sized public companies with 1K to 10K employees I have lost faith in DocuSign as a product and worried that the stock will keep falling. Can anyone recommend some companies that meet the following criteria?: - Public company - 1K to 10K employees (with 2K-5K being the optimal range) - Great WLB - Decent Comp (~$300K for L5 / 10 YoE) - Has a well-liked, growing product Three such companies I've identified are Smartsheet, ServiceNow, and HubSpot. Would appreciate additional recommendations! I'm in no rush to switch so it's OK if they're not currently hiring.

Why do u believe that smartsheet is doing any good? With airtable, coda, and smarter apps from MS and Google,do u still see a future for smartsheet?

Their earnings results have been good and stock is back on the climb up (unlike DocuSign). I had the same concerns some time ago but based on the last few earnings believe there's a niche for them

Smart sheet is by far the most annoying product I have ever used.

Maybe once the housing market is doing well again.

My friend, no one enters the stock market when it’s peaked. You buy when everyone is selling and get in on the low prices, correct ? Same for job hopping

You don’t want to work at Smartsheet lol

DocuSign DocuFocu OP May 24, 2023

Care to elaborate? What's not good about it? Based on the last few earnings calls I feel that they've found their niche and their product is actually sticky.

Smartsheet wohooooo May 24, 2023

Earnings and working for a company are two separate things bud. Just because the former is good doesn’t mean the latter has to be good.

I concur with ghost8.0

How come?

Why negative on Docusign, out of curiosity?

DocuSign DocuFocu OP May 24, 2023

Not seeing any major innovations and don't have any confidence in the leadership team

Zendesk tCLE70 May 24, 2023

May I ask why you don’t have confidence in LT?

Servicenow is growing exponentially. Its more than 20k headcount. Update your list

ServiceNow CeeJayNiw May 28, 2023

You don't know what exponential growth is.

ServiceNow piss2023 Jun 26, 2023

Whats the exponential growth?

ServiceNow abel-tuter May 26, 2023

ServiceNow is 20k+ currently. It checks all your other boxes though.

ServiceNow SNøw500 May 28, 2023

Yes Servicenow - except they’ve grown to 22k and WLB depends on the team you’re on. How about Intuit? They’re still at 8k employees I think
